Value Collection 0003581-MSC 75284968 303 Ss Rectangular Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 0003581-MSC 75284968 is a 303 stainless steel rectangular rod measuring 12 inches in overall length, 1 inch in width, and 3/4 inch in thickness. Grade 303 stainless steel is a free-machining austenitic alloy known for its ease of cutting, drilling, and threading while maintaining good corrosion resistance. This rod is suited for machining operations where tight dimensional tolerances are required. Width tolerance is plus or minus 0.0040 inches and thickness tolerance is 0.0020 inches, making it appropriate for precision fabrication work. The part weighs 2.55 pounds. Machinists, fabricators, and maintenance technicians are the primary users of this stock material.

This rectangular rod is used in general industrial and commercial fabrication applications including brackets, spacers, shafts, fixtures, and custom machine components. Its free-machining properties make it well suited for lathe, mill, and drill press operations in job shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing environments. The 12-inch length provides a manageable stock size for small-run or one-off component production. It is appropriate for applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance in non-chloride environments.

Installation Notes

This is raw bar stock material intended for machining or fabrication prior to installation in a finished assembly. Standard metal-working practices apply including the use of appropriate cutting fluids when machining 303 stainless steel. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling or cutting the material. Deburr all machined edges before assembly to prevent injury and ensure proper fit.
